The Minister for Defence has provided the following answer to the honourable senator's question:

Strategic Reform Program (SRP) savings are tracked, reported and managed on a stream-by-stream basis; they are not broken up by sub-category of productivity improvement, one-offs or other descriptors.

Cost reductions under the SRP are based on annual budgets. In 2011-12, the cost reductions target for the Department and the Defence Materiel Organisation is $1,283.9 million.

The Department will publish the stream cost reductions achieved under SRP for the full financial year in the Defence Annual Report which is expected to be released in late 2012.
